How many times have you been asked what water pump and intake is that? Figure you would get it a lot from the older Gen I guys.

Very nice build man and DId you buy that opti delete from boogeyman on here?

moge11

you should shoot for as close to 11.5:1 as possible with that much cam... It will still run on pump gas just fine and probably make another 20hp or more.
